A Closet Tale

I must have this dilemma at least twice a week! Yesterday morning the “nothing to wear” panic set in something fierce. Obviously, this called for a babysitter, and a shopping trip. I was particularly in need of a holiday party dress, since last year’s maternity – two sizes too big – dress has thankfully been freed from my closet.

Check out one of my favorite shopping spots. My Sister’s Closet. Yes, this is a consignment store. Hard to believe, it looks more like a boutique clothing store and that’s why I love coming here to get my clothing fix at a fraction of the price.

I am always lured in by the handbag section – display heaven. I need to focus on finding a dress but I can’t pull myself away!

Look at these shoes. Dior for $79 and BCBG for $29. I think I need to buy the shoes – and find a dress. When in doubt, always buy the shoes.

A Zara leopard print trenchcoat for $17? – yes please. I think I’m in the market for a new trenchcoat – and a dress.

This is the chic dressing room. Lovely Chanel on the wall.

I found some designer dresses on the racks: Herve Leger, Betsey Johnson, Tory Burch

Sometimes I get lucky when I come to shop the racks and find clothes that are BRAND NEW with tags and priced to sell.

In the end, I went with the Betsey Johnson dress – and the Dior shoes. Gotta have the shoes!

Yeah, depends if you luck out the day you visit..sometimes it also depends on the consignment place. I live near Scottsdale, AZ where most of the “rich” ladies consign their clothes to the stores around town.
